Mike Pollock™ I do want to accept your apology and I'm hoping you've learnt from this so I'll leave it at that. Just one final question before I make my decision. Do you STILL stand by these comments. I am not villifying you I understand better then anyone we all say stupid stuff i-

Mike Pollock™ In anger so I'm just saying 'do you accept that this is the wrong way to handle issues' or do you still stand by these comments.

This is NOT me trying to make you look bad I'm simply asking if these are your ACTUAL thoughts and not pent up emotion in the heat of a moment :)

a s Well, the bris hasn't changed, I'm still hoping for the safe return of hostages, and I'm not debating the merits of the war, which will wage on regardless.

I think those are all the points in question, so those are all true statements.

But I've just discussed them snarklessly.

Mike Pollock™ I understand and appreciate the reply I did read through your statement, what I meant by 'do you still stand by this or was it heat of the moment' was the circumsision thing in specific. This isnt me trying to bait you this is a 'are you sure you dont want to rethink that'

a s To have a bris is to be a Jewish male.

That's the point of that observation in my mind. But since I know how my mind works, I know that what I come up with in my mind is seldom in anyone else's mind. So does that explain it?

Mike Pollock™ Thats not what I'm discussing my point is, I understand things got heated and I understand that stuff tends to go south in anger 'do you stand by the circumsion joke or not' is essentially what I'm asking

a s I explained the meaning of the joke.

No one got the joke.

I like the joke, but since no one it, it was a poor choice of joke, so I guess I don't stand by it.

I either need better material, or to stop joking.

I prefer the former, but may have to settle for the latter.

Mike Pollock™ A circumsion for many is a traumatic experience that all minors go through. Yes its deeprooted in culture I get that but that doesnt make it acceptable. This doesnt really feel like remorse atp this is just 'guess it wasnt funny then' many of your audience are minors bear in mind
